  • Accessibility and the Crowded Sidewalk: Micromobility’S Impact on Public Space CYNTHIA L
    Accessibility and The Crowded Sidewalk: Micromobility’s Impact on Public Space CYNTHIA L. BENNETT Carnegie Mellon University, [email protected] EMILY E. ACKERMAN Univerisity of Pittsburgh, [email protected] BONNIE FAN Carnegie Mellon University, [email protected] JEFFREY P. BIGHAM Carnegie Mellon University, [email protected] PATRICK CARRINGTON Carnegie Mellon University, [email protected] SARAH E. FOX Carnegie Mellon University, [email protected] Over the past several years, micromobility devices—small-scale, networked vehicles used to travel short distances—have begun to pervade cities, bringing promises of sustainable transportation and decreased congestion. Though proponents herald their role in offering lightweight solutions to disconnected transit, smart scooters and autonomous delivery robots increasingly occupy pedestrian pathways, reanimating tensions around the right to public space. Drawing on interviews with disabled activists, government officials, and commercial representatives, we chart how devices and policies co-evolve to fulfill municipal sustainability goals, while creating obstacles for people with disabilities whose activism has long resisted inaccessible infrastructure. We reflect on efforts to redistribute space, institute tech governance, and offer accountability to those who involuntarily encounter interventions on the ground. In studying micromobility within spatial and political context, we call for the HCI community to consider how innovation transforms as it moves out from centers of development toward peripheries of design consideration.

    Public Realm Design Manual A Summary of District of Columbia Regulations and Specifications for the Design of Public Space Elements Government of the District of Columbia Version 2.1 - March 2019 Muriel Bowser, Mayor II Majestic views of national monuments, leafy residential streets, and wide sidewalks in commercial areas... these are iconic images of Washington, DC. Much of the daily routine of District residents, workers, and visitors takes place in settings like these. This is where we walk to school, wait for the bus, talk to neighbors, walk the dog, window shop, or sit outside in a café to drink a cup of coffee. Having such an extensive network of public space enhances the quality of life for our residents and visitors, and ensures that the city has the foundation to become a more walkable and sustainable city. The District’s public space is a valuable asset worthy of our stewardship and - with the help of all residents and property owners – is one if the unique features that makes our city great. The Guide to the District of Columbia’s Public Space Regulations is a resource for learning about the importance of the District’s public space, the regulations that guide its use and form, and the rationale behind them. Property owners are required to maintain the public space adjacent to their property, so it is important that these ideas are understood clearly. Beginning with the L’Enfant Plan and continuing to today, Washington, DC has a notable history of using public space to define the city and give character and grace to neighborhoods.

  • Engineering Division Driveway Aprons and Curb Cut Policy
    Adopted by the Board of Selectmen May 15, 1973 Revised February 14, 2013 TOWN OF WELLESLEY POLICY GOVERNING DRIVEWAY APRONS AND CURB CUTS RESIDENTIAL PURPOSE: To limit potential areas of traffic conflict while maintaining adequate access for vehicles to be stored conveniently off- street. POLICY: A written curb cut request must be made to the office of the Town Engineer regardless of whether the request is for a new curb cut and driveway apron or alteration to an existing curb cut and driveway apron. There shall be not more than two (2) driveway aprons and curb cuts per lot. The only exception would be if the request involves a corner lot. Two (2) curb cuts could be permitted on a street to provide for a semi-circular driveway and a third curb cut could be permitted on the intersecting street for access to the garage(s). Under any circumstance, the maximum number of driveway aprons and curb cuts that would be allowed under those conditions is three (3). Under all other conditions, the maximum permissible number of curb cuts shall be two (2). The standard single driveway width shall not be in excess of 12 feet measured at the property line, but may flare out at the curb line to a greater width as shown in the Town’s Standard Construction Detail 2A, appended to this policy.

  • 4-A Design for Trucks
    1 CHAPTER 4 DESIGN CRITERIA The design of driveways shall comply with the guidelines of AASHTO‟s A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Bridges, current edition. However, this chapter provides a summary of the minimum design constraints that will be checked during the plan review process. All modes of transportation should be taken into consideration, cars, pedestrians, bikes and trucks. The geometric design of an intersection is a collection of various elements - such as radius, width, grade, angle of intersection, etc, - that in combination provide for satisfactory operation of the vehicles that will use the intersection. Since the operating characteristics vary dramatically for different types of vehicles, the designer must first establish the design vehicle on which to base the design. The designer should also check the final design to ensure the design vehicles can operate satisfactorily. In addition, if the applicant can demonstrate that his design can accommodate the appropriate design vehicle even though one or more design elements do not meet the minimum values contained in this chapter, the Department may approve the plans. 4-A DESIGN FOR TRUCKS The design criteria given in this chapter have more stringent requirements for trucks. Even though the general use of such guidance would result in more desirable operations for all vehicles, it is neither practical nor necessary to design all facilities to accommodate trucks. The designer must use judgment in selecting the proper design vehicle. When semi trailer combination trucks are expected to use the intersection on a regular basis and in numbers more than just an occasional vehicle, then the intersection should be designed to accommodate the truck movements.

  • BC Transit. "Design Guidelines for Accessible Bus Stops."
    BC TRANSIT MUNICIPAL SYSTEMS PROGRAM DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ACCESSIBLE BUS STOPS FORWARD -- MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR DESIGNATION OF ACCESSIBLE BUS STOPS The guidelines for an accessible stop are: In areas where a sidewalk is the pedestrian right-of-way: The preferable roadside condition for a transit stop is a concrete barrier curb 150 mm (6 in) high, without indentation for a catch basin. The transit stop-waiting pad should be a clear minimum of 2.1 m (7 ft) x 1.98 m (6.5 ft). This is necessary in order to accommodate the wheelchair ramp deployment from the bus and to allow for wheelchair movement after clearing the ramp. Provide one or two paved connections from waiting pad to the sidewalk for a width of 1.5 m (5 ft). If street furniture or other such objects are provided (i.e. newspaper box, overhead signage), they must be located to provide a minimum clear width of 1.5 m (5 ft) and clear headroom of 2.0 m (6.5 ft) for the pedestrian path. They must be kept clear of the transit loading and unloading area. If a bench for seating is installed within bus stop areas, it should not be placed on a sidewalk after having a width of less than 2 m (6.5 ft), or within 6 m (20 ft) of any fire hydrant. In areas where no sidewalk exists, a concrete or asphalt pad on the shoulder of the road, as illustrated in Figure 6, is recommended. As illustrated, the pad must be elevated above road grade 150 mm.

  • Land Use Law and Sidewalk Requirements Under the Americans with Disabilities Act
    LAND USE LAW AND SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Robin Paul Malloy, Sarah Spencer & Shannon Crane Authors’ Synopsis: A significant percentage of American families have a family member with a mobility impairment. The numbers will increase as our population continues to age. Therefore, it is important to focus on accessibility so that people can safely and easily navigate their local communities. This Article deals with the legal obligation to make com- munities accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Specifically, this Article addresses the intricate regulations applicable to sidewalks. Local communities must construct, repair, and maintain side- walks in compliance with the ADA. This obligation includes removing obstacles to accessibility such as snow, even in snow-belt communities that would prefer to avoid the cost of snow removal. I.
